It is an unlikely model for plant evolution, but is a useful one because it has undergone major habitat shifts: it evolved from marine algae into a terrestrial flowering plant, then moved back to the sea again.

Some waterfowl, such as Brandt and snails eat the leaves directly. Algae and invertebrate species use the eelgrass blades as substrate and some grow as epiphytes on the surface of the leaves.

Eelgrass is fire and rot resistant. When packed into a wall, eelgrass tends to form many small air pockets and to retain its loft, rather than sinking within the wall cavity. At least one First Period house, the Pierce House of 1683 in Dorchester, Massachusetts, had eelgrass insulation.

Adaptations: -seagrass has horizontal roots called rhizomes which help them stay put when waves brush up against them. -sea grass has adapted to salt water.

Photo courtesy NOAA Large-scale eelgrass restoration in an environment as complex as the Salish Sea requires estimating the effects of a wide range of environmental conditions (e.g. temperature, salinity, turbidity) on the effectiveness of restoration actions in different locations. We have developed a spatial model of eelgrass growth in response to environmental drivers, based on physiological data collected in shallow, sandy substrates (eelgrass prefers sandy sediments) tends to have shorter leaves, whereas plants in deeper, muddy, quiet conditions have longer leaf growth. Eelgrass rhizomes are easily damaged by trampling, anchoring, dredging and other activities that disturb the sediment.
